This command does not return a value.

This command begins an Advanced 2D filled shape drawing batch operation. The command works with all the filled shapes. The batch size is an estimate of how many shapes are to be drawn. It doesn't matter if it's too big or too small, but the closer it is the more efficient the batch.
